[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It really bothers me that you’re asking this. Liking girly things or princesses doesn’t make you less than. It’s a bad message to send to girls that they can’t like girly things but encourage stereotypical boy things. It’s a form of self hatred that women do things like this.

I have a very unisex playroom. I had dolls for my son to play with, play kitchen (so many boys don’t get that) and even books with girl characters. We didn’t encourage the Disney princesses for our daughters but when my daughter saw Frozen for the first time it was all over. They’re all unique people with their own interests and you have to let them decide what they want. My sons favorite color has always been purple, even as a baby. [/quote]

Agreed! My 4 year old is allowed to play with anything, as long as it doesn’t promote violence. She has dolls, Paw Patrol stuff, Peppa Pig, lots of Disney stuff. She isn’t really into the princesses, but that’s just by chance. We didn’t actively discourage any of it. [/quote]
